What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2026: 3DEXPERIENCE Integration Enhancements

-

 This chapter highlights all the enhancements that improve how you use SOLIDWORKS with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

These updates focus on tighter integration, optimized workflows, and simplified data management between desktop design and cloud collaboration environments.

The features described in this chapter are available in both SOLIDWORKS Connected (3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS roles) and SOLIDWORKS with the 3DEXPERIENCE add-in (Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role).

i)  3DEXPERIENCE Components in SOLIDWORKS

The workflow for handling 3DEXPERIENCE components in SOLIDWORKS is now faster and more streamlined.

  • Insertion: Components are automatically inserted as 3DEXPERIENCE components without any dialog prompts.
  • Derived Parts: A new Create Derived Part dialog replaces the older workflow. You can now save to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at any time after creating the derived part.
  • Editing: When editing a 3DEXPERIENCE component, the Create Derived Part dialog appears, allowing changes through a derived file.
  • Opening Components: Components open in view-only mode. Editing tools are disabled, but you can still measure, rotate, or zoom. To modify, simply create a derived part.

This enhancement simplifies the design workflow and ensures smoother integration between SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.


ii)  3DEXPERIENCE Transition Task in SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler

The 3DEXPERIENCE Transition Task replaces the previous Compatibility Task, providing an improved method to update SOLIDWORKS files for use with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You can now use a .CSV file to select content from your computer and run macros during the transition process.

3DEXPERIENCE Transition Task in SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler

Benefits:

  • Save time by batch-processing files using .CSV input.
  • Upgrade files to the latest SOLIDWORKS version without enabling compatibility.
  • Update custom properties.
  • Add rebuild and display data marks.

This task simplifies data preparation and transition to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.


iii) Linking PLM Attributes to BOM Columns

3DEXPERIENCE users can now link PLM attributes directly to Bill of Materials (BOM) columns in SOLIDWORKS. These linked columns automatically update when connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, ensuring data consistency between design and product lifecycle management.

Linking PLM Attributes to BOM Columns

Benefits:

  • Automatically synchronize BOM data with 3DEXPERIENCE PLM attributes.
  • Simplify data migration by linking BOMs directly to platform attributes.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date product information across systems.

This enhancement strengthens connectivity between SOLIDWORKS BOM management and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

SOLIDWOKRS TECH TIP - SOLIDWORKS PROPERTY TAB BUILDER

-
Image
The Property Tab Builder is a stand-alone utility that you use to create a customized interface for entering properties into SOLIDWORKS files. Traditionally, designer's use to modify the drawing template to insert custom property such as Description, Part No, Material, it’s a manual method. so, designers have to modify the custom property or metadata on each time, simultaneously BOM creation is also manual which increases a run time and errors in BOM table. It's also delayed the release of entire project. Three ways to create a customized interface for property template. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the Custom Properties tab in the Task Pane, click Create now. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the SOLIDWORKS Resources tab of the Task Pane, click Property Tab Builder From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > SOLIDWORKS version > SOLIDWORKS Tools > Property Tab Builder version. To create the property tab, you will need to first create a new fil...

Confused With Wire/Cable Harnessing? - Harnessing Technology By SolidWorks Electrical

-
Image
SolidWorks Electrical is an intuitive and powerful tool which takes care of wire and cable harness design and create the flattened view with automatic updated BOM/Cut. Engineers need to put more thought into thinks like wire length, bending radius and routing. As wiring harness become increasingly complex and an important part of design we are in need of a powerful tool to ease our design process, this is where SolidWorks Electrical comes into play. Today in Automotive sector there are many more computers and Electronic Control Units used in vehicles today. These ECU are used to control the transmission, and other major devices of the vehicle and they have to be connected via wire harness in order for the system to work What is Wire Harness? The wire harness is compactly bundled wire which plays as the conduit for transmission of control and power signals acting as the “Central Nervous System of a vehicle”. When designing a new product, engineers focus mainly on f...
